Lead the shop. Develop the team. Drive performance.

This is a non-working Shop Foreman position focused primarily on leadership, workflow, technician development, and shop performance.

• Drive technician efficiency and production – Identify opportunities to improve processes, reduce downtime, and maximize shop capacity.


• Recruit and build the team – Help us attract, hire, and retain talented technicians.


• Manage Toyota training and certifications – Keep technicians on track with required training and help build the next generation of Toyota-certified talent.


• Develop apprentices – Create a clear path for entry-level technicians to grow into productive, skilled technicians.


• Provide technical leadership – Assist with difficult diagnostics, complex repairs, and technical questions when needed.


• Maintain quality and accountability – Hold the team to high standards while creating an environment where technicians want to succeed.


• Communicate across the department – Work closely with service advisors and management to keep the shop running efficiently and customers taken care of.

Who We’re Looking For:

• An experienced technician and/or automotive shop leader


• A strong communicator and respected leader


• Highly organized and able to manage a fast-paced shop


• Focused on efficiency, productivity, and quality


• Comfortable coaching and holding people accountable


• Passionate about developing technicians and building a strong team
